I removed everything from my desk. With the Hackintosh, I want to start anew.
There are so many cables - I didn't even know I had these! My desk from now on will be clutter free.
So, because a 365 Photo project isn’t enough to deal with right now, I’m going to try a 30-Day “D” Challenge: Dump it, Donate it, or Deal with it. Which means that every day, I “Dump” something that should have been thrown away, “Donate” something I no longer need/want/use, or “Deal” with something that’s been sitting around unfinished (am I the only one who's had that LAST under cabinet light in a kitchen drawer for months?)
Starting off easy, today’s “Donate” is the pair of shoes I wore today; they’re not that comfortable, they don’t fit very well, and I don’t really like them, so why are they still on my shoe rack? Well, they’re not anymore. Into the Donate box they go!
(and yes, poor quality iPhone photos are TOTALLY allowed for this project!)
My inner minimalist thinks it's time to de-clutter my shed . . . 2012 will be my year of letting go . . . of understanding that more that can be found in less . . . of waking up . . . of realising just how good life can be . . . and of cultivating the path towards an authentic way of being.
Now, my registration and insurance info is easy to find (I tossed out all the old/out dated papers), I have a stack of paper napkins (just in case I spill coffee on myself), and the white envelope has my car's manual in it.
This weekend I am starting a Permaculture Design Course at RISC in Reading. In preparation I have been sorting my permaculture, gardening and identification guides/books into some sort of order. A few seem to have gone missing (Patrick Whitefield's "Permaculture in a Nutshell" for example) but I'm sure they'll turn up as we do our New Year general declutter and clearout.

It's day 18 of my 30 Day "D" challenge, and today's project was to Declutter (yes, I'm adding "D's" as I go) the cabinet under my bathroom sink. It's a huge double-door cabinet with very little to get in the way of things, so I'd crammed it with multiple storage bins packed with all kinds of random bathroom-related items. Today I emptied it all out, Dumped or Donated all of the things I don't need, and kept just 3 small bins of lotions, potions, and necessities. Now I can actually find what's under there, my travel kit fits nicely, I can get to the spare Kleenex. . . it's actually a rather happy space.
This must be the favourite position of 21st-century tourists. When we travel, we photograph or video with abandon - everything and anything. On package tours, it's usually the guide who tells the group to get off the coach, and in a few allocated minutes get a picture of a famous landmark or building. And like trained pets, all the tourists flock out to click away. If I can help it, I avoid package tours like the plague...
Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to collect all the pictures of one popular spot, taken in the course of one day? Millions of travellers posing at slightly different positions and angles. Maybe somebody has already compiled a project that like. How many of us ever look at our accumulated digital travel pictures more than once - possibly a few times, to show (and bore to death!) family and friends on return? And yet, it's so easy, and practically free - why wouldn't we do it? It's quite a job to ruthlessly discard and edit your pictures, and keep your files organized. For me, net publishing helps tremendously to declutter my digital photos. It would also be interesting to see how long digital photos can be preserved. I have already read speculations that, where old prints fade and discolour, digital photos are likely to just unpixelate at some point.
Inspired by Andy's example, I decided to clean up my computer tonight, make a full backup, and declutter my desktop while I was at it.

One of my goals this week was to organize my messy trunk. It had become the catch-all for all sort of random things.
It's the 24th day of my 30 Day Challenge, and I spent a few hours Dealing with the futon space in my library/guest room. For months now it's been in "bed" mode, overflowing with pillows, blankets, throw pillows, and even more pillows. And the storage bin underneath was a black hole of the unknown. Today I took it all apart, Donated most of the pillows, a lot of the blankets, some pillowcases, and the three (yes, 3!!!) shower curtains hiding underneath. Then I put 2 winter blankets in a blanket bag, added 1 medium weight fleece to the box, and flipped the futon into couch mode. Topped with just a few pillows and a couple throw blankets, it no longer overpowers the entire room.

333/365 Friday 29 November 2013 - I started a major craft/sewing clean out/declutter. I came across these vintage buttons a cousin sent me years ago. So pretty.
On the advice of her shrink, 22-year-old Londoner Georgia Horrocks is trying to declutter her mind by selling her imaginary friend on eBay! “I have recently come to the decision that it is time to sell my imaginary friend Bernard who was created during a time of emotional instability,” Georgia wrote in the eBay listing.

Before.... A frightening terrible disaster... (most of the stuff piled on the right hand side is the landlady's, and has to stay there)
